Sitting for a Picture.

There is an enormous amount OF
money made in the photograph bust
ness. The usual cabinet size pictures
which sell at $3.50 to $3.50 are all made
for $2 dozen, and other profits are in
same proportion. Brunettes give less
trouble to photographers than blondes,
for great care must be taken to get
anything like a correct picture Of a
blonde, and frequently they must be
given two or three sittings before a
good likeness is obtained. As gen.
eral rule ladies give the photographer
more trouble and are more difficult to
please, but men are often just as
troublesome and even worse than
babies to catch an impression from. 1t
is hard to find either lady or gentle
man who does not like picture which
fatters them much better than they do
a natural one.--St. Louis GLobe-DeDs

How BIaok-Headed Pins are Made.

Sitting alongside lady in an ele.
waited train the other day, writes sp
observant New Yorker, she had occs-
sion to adjust portion Of her dress
which was fastened with a black pin,
when the head broke In fragments
and disclosed the fact that 1t was
some kind of composition fastened on
a broken needle. Curiosity led me
to make some inquiries, and / found
that nearly all the black-headed pins
in the market are made from needles
which are broken in the factories in
testing the eyes. Any one who has
handled the black-headed pins has
probably noticed their remarkable
Sharpness as compared with the or
binary white pins sold in the market.
This is the explanation-that they
are old needles.

Parsons Appears In Print,

A. X. Parsons, one of the seven con-
demned anarchists, has issued an adj
dress to the American people. Parsons
reviews the decision of the supreme
court at some length, asserts his inno-
cence of any participation in or re-
sponsibility of the Haymarket massacre,
and declairs that he does not desire a
Communication of his sentence to impris-
onment He says:
AS all the world knows, have been
convicted and sentenced to die for the
crime of murder-the most henious of
Tense that can be committed. Under
the forms of law two courts. viz, the
criminal and supreme courts of the
state of Illinois, have sentenced me to
death as an accessory before the fact
to the murder of Officer Deegan on the
4th of May, 1886. Nevertheless | am
innocent of the crime charged, and to
q candid and unprecedented world /
submit the proof. In its decision af-
firming the sentence of death upon me
the supreme court of the state of Illinois
says: at is undisputed that the bomb
was thrown that caused the death of
Deegan. 1t is conceded that no one of
the defendants threw the bomb with his
ywn hands. Plaintiffs n error are charged
with being accessories before the fact. ="

The merchants of Cincinnati are all
torn up over the application of boot
black for membership of their Chamber
of Commerce. The Globe Democrat
fears that the general admission of boot
blacks into the Boards of Trade and
Stock Exchanges of the country would
lower the moral tone of the bootblack
without improving that of the traders
and spectators.

Grant Conutp @erald.

On the first page of all the Saturday
dailies were seen such headings as,
Lucy in the Lookup, Mrs. Parsons
Nabbed, and Tho wife of one of the
Anarchists made martyr of in small
way. Lucy E. Parsons, wife of the
condemned anarchist was arrested and
locked up in the station last Friday
afternoon for distributing to the peo-
pie the appeal written by her husband.
The charge against her was violating
the municipal code which is as follows;
''No person or persons shall distribute,
cast or throw, or place in, upon OF
along any of the streets, alleys, or pub
lie places of the city of Chicago any
handbills, pamphlets, circulars. books
or advertisements for the purpose OF
advertising or making known in a gen.
eral or promiscuous manner any business
occupation, profession, medical treat
ment, or anything whatsoever, under
penalty of not less than S. nor more
than $l5 for each and every offense.
Mrs. Parsons had been repeatedly
warned by the officers to desist from
distributing her circulars, but her only
reply was that she was .amenable TO
the laws as she continued to scatter
her husbands production.
Mrs. Parsons has proved herself to
be quite as rabid, an anarchist as
her husband, and has spent most of her
time in making collections for their
cause. Her defence of her position is
simply this: II have been arrested for
distributing my husbands Appeal to
the American People | had a perfect
right to do so, but.the police say not.
think it is wife's duty and right to do
all she can to help her husband when
he is condemned to death Further than
that have nothing TO say
She no doubt dad as any other wife
would do. Hoa could she know she
was violating the law in distributing
by hand what the newspapers had al
ready distributed all over the world?
The idea of allowing man under SEN
tence of death for murder to argue his
case through the newspapers! In what
other country under the sun could such
thing be done!
Exchange: The latest thing ia the
way of amusement is what is called the
poverty dance" Invitations printed
on straw board and enclosed in cheap
yellow envelopes are circulated Tickets
for the balls are 46 cents, supper 10
cents. No gentleman is allowed to
participate who has less than two
patches on his clothes aud the ladies
are dressed in calico. The poverty
dance is very popular in the east. Edi-
tors are excluded. Men who caunot
afford to wear twp patches over the
rents in the bosom and knees of
their trousers are too poor to attend
anything but torch-ligbt procession.

The Blue Grotto of Capri.

The famous Blue Grotto of Capri
has given rise to one of the most curious
lawsuits which mas ever been heard. The
VitG NdpotEtans0, writing on the subject,
says that some years ago an American
became pOssessor of that part of Capri
under which the Blue Grotto is situated,
and the owner asserts now that as the
surface of the ground belongs to him
he is also the owner of every thing be-
low ii, which in this case happens to be
the grotto, which, however, at present
is the possession of the little town of
Capri, the administration Of which had
not the slightest inclination of giving
up what is its own to the Yankee. The
latter, on being Informed of this, has
begun lawsuit, the. consequences of
which, whether he wins or loses the
case, may be very serious. In the lat,
ter case he can permanently injure the
grotto by making hole through its
ceiling, by which the marvellous reflec-
tons in the interior will be lost for ever.
If he wins, the chances are. that he will
close the grotto to the public.

Fishes Out of Water.

There are several species of fish which
are much more at home out of theft
natural element than any species of the
human race are in water. The climb
ing perch (AnGbaS ScGnderas) is re-
markable example found in Asia. This
singular creature appears much like
other perch, but is endowed with an
sxtraordintry power of leaving failing
stress ms, climbing the banks, and pro-
cee1.ng over dry land in quest of better
silica waite courses. Hundreds of them
have been seen at a distance of fifty or
5lN. yards from a pool just abandoned,
ant 1raveling, though the ground was
so roagh mat this distance must have
rsguired sufficient muscular exertion to
/, ze them half mile over level ground.
Some writer's even assert that this fish is
capable of climbing the rough stems of
palm-h,ees, The fishermen of the
Gauges, who subsist largely on climb
Ing perch, are accustomed to keep them
T. dry earthern pans for five or six days
ritter catching, and they live this strange
life without discomfort Science.
